Creative Commons
Creative Commons (CC) is a public copyright license that enables a copyrighted work or creation to be distributed for free. When a creator wants to allow others to modify or use their work for purposes such as commercial or educational use, they use a CC license.
Works with a CC license are works that you are free to use, as long as you adhere to the rules/conditions set by the creator. Let’s take a look at these conditions and the types of CC licenses.
Creative Commons Types
CC Licenses are generally tied to four main conditions for the protected work, these conditions are as follows.
